I am sure glad that you don't coach----Fields is one of the highest rated corners that we have signed lately and has all the tools( or so the coaches say). I love Edmunds and want him to return as quickly as possible and I will put my trust in the coaches to put the right one out there. By the way Edmunds is 5'9".

Thanks Apex! Not trying to split hairs here. But, the subtle differences between playing DB on the outside and inside not so subtle. Look again at some of the plays so far teams have been able to make in the passing game. Great players will get open; and you will give up plays b/c of it. But, when they target you b/c of your stature/coverage ability it's a problem. I think Edmund was slated to start if not for injury. Plus, the NFL is starving for good Nickel CB! Fields is physical enough and better in tight spaces i.m.o. Will make his hay at the next level there at any rate. No complaints either way; just think he could help us there. But, not on the terrific staff we have. Just a fan on a message board of course. Just my opinion.
